This Packard was built for Jock Whitney. Famed sportsman, newspaper mogul, philanthropist and principal backer for the movie "Gone With the Wind". He had this car built for the premiere parade in Atlanta. He and David O. Selznick were the Grand Marshals in the parade. Mr. Whitney used the car at his plantation in Thomasville, Georgia. We purchased the car from the Whitney Estate in 1957. The car was sold in 1979 and restored by Helig Motors in Texas. We returned the Packard to the family in 1987.
 The Packard was designed to be used as a limousine when the top is up. The divider window can be raised and sealed to make the rear of the car totally private. Note the use of art deco ornamentation, walnut trim, cloisonné Packard emblems and the radio with the original Atlanta preset buttons. This is the very last 12 cylinder Packard to come off the assembly line.
